Those 700 rooms have now received a complete makeover to bring them into the modern age, although the Studio Tower still remains an inconvenient distance from the main hotel and should be considered only as an entry-level room product.

The long-neglected Studio Tower (formerly known as the West Wing, and in a prior life, the Marina Hotel), has effectively been the poor stepchild of the otherwise-handsome MGM Grand accommodations family.

Accommodations in the renewed Sky Suites now feature desert-inspired color schemes and whimsical art, while the SKYVILLAS each sport their own new palette, personality and layout. Both AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Travel Guide 5-Star Award products include airport transfers, a private pool, a personal concierge, private entrance and turn-down amenities. The first renewed rooms will be ready this month, with project completion scheduled for October.Ĭlimbing up the luxury ladder even further into hotel-within-a-hotel products, ARIA has already refreshed all 400+ Sky Suites and a few of the property’s seven SKYVILLAS. Featuring decor and furnishings in soft colors inspired by Northern Italy, the new room product is attractive and functional, checking off all the boxes set by luxe accommodation expectations: twin-sink, marble bathroom with oversized shower fine linens quality toiletries plush bedding and comfortable, spacious sitting areas soft uplighting custom TV armoires and just enough technology.

Thus, accommodations must be refreshed every few years, and the current, $110 million renovation project in Bellagio’s Spa Tower is testament to that ethos. With nonstop competition at all levels of the Las Vegas hospitality sector, the properties that operate in the top-end, luxury niche feel the most pressure - both from their peers as well as those pushing up from just beneath them. The last couple of years have been full speed ahead for MGM’s Vegas portfolio, as the following highlight reel aptly illustrates. Even the COVID-19 pandemic couldn’t stop - or slow down - MGM Resorts’ relentless stream of hospitality product launches, updates and enhancements. The only dependable constant in Las Vegas is change, and it seemingly occurs almost daily here.
